https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/099af67a-6ca7-4e57-9037-1a961e948bc2 This is a new series called KIS or (K)eep (I)t (S)imple. It is for new gardeners and my goal is to help you get to growing vegetables. I try and simplify the tools and methods. This is video 2 of 3. Today I go over bottom leaf removal and pruning 'suckers' or production stems. I show you two ways to stake the tomato to support it as it grows. I also talk about adding calcium to prevent a disease called blossom end rot or BER. It is an issue related to watering and/or calcium. I review the 5-5-5 fertilizing principle and at this point you should continue with feeding the plant every 10-14 days.
